One of the other "hats" I've worn is singer/keyboardist Open mike nights are a part of life if you're a wannabe musician. Sony Music never did shove a contract under my nose, but I am very glad I did the open mike thing. I wish you well, and I say, go for it!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3632878082669459487.post-51357264713976630732010-02-03T09:55:24.775-05:002010-02-03T09:55:24.775-05:00I'm not laughing, Alan.

I figured if I could learn to stand up in front of a roomful of drunks and make them laugh, I could do anything. <br /><br />After that, I performed standup around the So. Cal area for a short time, including once at the famous Comedy Store, some private venues, and in two comedy competitions. I haven't done stand-up in a very long time, but I am now very comfortable in front of any audience. <br /><br />Trust me, once you perform comedy wearing a floor-length negligee and a red feather boa at a large swingers club, you can do ANYTHING. (I did 3 gigs there, and yes, they paid me.)<br /><br />Break a leg, Alan. I'm rooting for you.Sue Ann Jaffarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09984054116933714621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3632878082669459487.post-16740276373972781312010-02-03T09:33:33.215-05:002010-02-03T09:33:33.215-05:00Doing a comedy act, hmm .. well you've already...Doing a comedy act, hmm .. well you've already got two laughs.
